How do I know what size to buy?" These are questions that a lot of our parents are asking and thinking, so we at Friendly Rooster are here to help. It can be difficult to decide when to buy those first baby walking shoes so we have compiled some tips and recommendations to assist you.<br />
<br />

When babies are first beginning the walking stage, it is okay for them to stay barefoot or in socks as they develop their balancing skills. It is amazing how quickly baby's walking skills and independence develops. Before you know it, they will want to be free to explore outside areas and public places. Infant shoes play a significant role in the development and health of a child's foot so you should be prepared with a good walking shoe (or 2) for when this stage occurs. Below are some tips to use when buying and sizing new footwear for your children.<br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Average Growth Rate </i></b><br />
<br />
Up until the first year, the average child's foot grows about one shoe size every 3 months. After the first year, you can estimate one size every 6 months. Of course this is an estimate and every child's rate of growth will vary. A good strategy to use is determine their newborn shoe size and then take regular measurements to come up with an estimate of how quickly your child's foot grows. Children sometimes go through sudden growth spurts so don't be surprised if they quickly outgrow their last pair of shoes. By knowing their typical growth rate, it will be easier to buy shoes in advance for upcoming seasons.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Measuring for your Baby Walking Shoes </i></b><br />
<br />
Get a sheet of paper, pen or pencil, and measuring tape. You can sit your child down on a lifted surface or hold them up in a standing position (might be easier if you have a helper).<br />
Place their foot flat on the piece of paper and make the following marks:<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<ul><ul><ul><ul><ul><ul><ol>
<li>Front of big toe </li>
<li>Behind the heel</li>
<li>Both sides of the widest part of their foot</li>
</ol>
</ul>

</ul>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then take your measuring tape and measure from the heel to the big toe in inches or centimeters. Next, measure the width of your child's foot, although it is likely that you may not need width unless you require a custom fit. </div>

In the early stages, it is not necessary that shoes have support features since their feet and arches are still developing. Below is your checklist to follow while purchasing your baby walking shoes. </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Feet are covered.</li>
<li>Shoes are snug enough that they do not slip off or slide around but should not pinch their feet.</li>
<li>There should be a good grip on the bottom to reduce the amount of falls (although inevitable - thank goodness for that padded diaper).</li>
<li>Shoes are flexible and do not need to be 'broken in'.</li>
<li>Comfortable so baby will not mind keeping them on.</li>
<li>If shoes are higher, such as high-tops or boots, be sure that ankle movement is not restricted.</li>
<li>There should be a half inch of space at the toe (remember those measurements you took??)</li>
<li>Have the baby test the shoes out and make sure they are walking well without tripping. </li>
</ul>

Started in2005, LGR is a UK based company that produces fair-trade children's clothing. They were one of the first companies in the UK to the get fair-trade cotton certification and have always used organic cotton. Business is booming for Little Green Radicals, so much so that they decided to offer an organic skincare line as well.<br />
<br />
Do you wonder what Friendly Rooster shoes would look like paired with LGR? Here is a bit of our vision below!<br />

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tea Collection. There are so many great things to say about this children’s clothing line; from its deliciously soft cotton fabric, to its global inspiration, to its <span style="color: purple;">vibrant pattern and color usage</span>. The company started in 2002 and has since elevated to be the well-known company it is today. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Being a website that only offers shoes/accessories, we like to have fun and imagine what our shoes would be like with some of the popular children’s clothing brands on the market. In this series, "<i>What We’re Wearing"</i>, we will highlight our products alongside our favorite clothing lines to create a complete ensemble!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">First up we have Mini Boden. Mini Boden is the children’s line from a great British company called Boden. Boden introduced their line for little people in 1996 and its popularity has grown immensely. A Baby Boden offshoot was also created in 2007. </span></div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">We love Mini Boden because it is playful, colorful, and unique. The clothes go well with Friendly Rooster shoes because the pieces are vibrant and the attitude is fresh and young. <span style="color: #6aa84f;">Boden also shares our desire to be green by practicing ethical trade and using recycled paper </span>for their printed materials. Learn more about these endeavors <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/help/about-us.html#help"><span class="s2">here</span></a>. </span></div>

As the year came to a close, we here at Friendly Rooster had a period of reflection over the last 365 days. What worked, what didn’t, what will the new year hold? All of those questions crossed our minds and while 2014 was amazing, we can’t help but believe 2015 will be even better! </div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Trying new things served us well and we intend to keep the theme going next year. We plan to bring popup shops to different cities around the United States and need YOUR help deciding where! </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Another change will be the introduction of brands that have a charitable approach. Friendly Rooster currently has an initiative called Share Your Love of Shoes™ which you can read about <a href="http://www.friendlyrooster.com/share-your-love-of-shoes"><span class="s2">here</span></a>. In 2015, our aim is to partner with other shoes brands that fit within our vision:</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
</div>
<ul>
<li>developmentally appropriate </li>
<li>charitable/philanthropic</li>
<li>unique</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Friendly Rooster strives to be a company that stands for something and gives back in some form or fashion, so we are super excited! </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Do you want for us to bring a popup shop to your city? Do you have ideas/feedback for our year ahead? We want to hear them!</span></div>

Friendly Rooster is having a banner year! 2014 has been good to us and we are so thankful for everyone's patronage and and support.<br />
<br />
If you are at all familiar with our brand, you know that our mission is to provide cute shoes with a purpose. The Share Your Love of Shoes™initiative is our way to give back and our main brand, Tip Toey Joey, does this by giving a pair of shoes to an American child born into poverty for every pair sold. We have other brands represented on the site, but are hoping to partner with more charitable brands in 2015.<br />
<br />
After some research, we've uncovered a few brands that could work well with the Friendly Rooster vision; <a href="http://www.rileyroos.com/" target="_blank">RileyRoos</a>, <a href="http://www.pedoodles.com/" target="_blank">Pedoodles</a>, and <a href="http://www.kepnerscott.com/" target="_blank">Kepner Scott</a>. All of them give back in some way and we are in the exploration phase. Do you have any personal experience with any of these brands? We'd love your feedback.<br />
<br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Why invest in good shoes for your children, right? Their feet grow like weeds and they play rough. Well that’s precisely why they should have shoes of quality. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Here at Friendly Rooster, we have an initiative called Share Your Love of Shoes®, which gives shoes to babies in need, thanks to our partnership with Tip Toey Joey.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">When mentioned, people say something along the lines of, “Oh yeah, that’s like [insert big, philanthropic shoe company]” We do give shoes to children in need, but that is where the similarities stop. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; min-height: 13px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">So how is Friendly Rooster <b>different</b>? Here are a few things we are advocates for:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; min-height: 13px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<ul>

Charlotte is an absolutely perfect place to live but most people complain about the humid summers at some point or another. It's true that it is hot here but we've also adapted to dealing with the heat and even occasionally making an enjoyable aspect of life. Summer is officially over and the Friendly Rooster team has been reflecting on some favorite things they loved about living here this past season. Of course in Southern North Carolina we'll still have a month of summer weather so this list is just a touch of arbitrary/wishful thinking. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #4c2b08; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.796875px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Food: Food Truck Fridays in South End can be a load of fun. Lots of good choices here. Also, the eclectic group of restaurants in Plaza Midwood are all standout choices. Soul Gastrolounge, The Peculiar Rabbit...even Fuel Pizza are great choices.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #4c2b08; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.796875px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Water: As hot as Charlotte can be, we thankfully have tons of water to cool off in. The US National Whitewater Center is one of these places, and it is fantastic. At times it feels like you are in a jungle in Costa Rica. It has zip lining, a whitewater course, mountain biking, flat water kayaking, paddle boarding, ropes courses, and a pretty cool restaurant with a good craft beer selection. We also have some great lakes for wake boarding and jet skiing (or just parking some boats together and hanging in the water.</div>

Sports: Knights games are held just over the border in Rock Hill, South Carolina. This Minor League team has a nice low-key feel to it. It's family-friendly, and there isn't a bad seat in the house.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #4c2b08; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.796875px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Movies: Badin Drive in Theater is old-school and a great throw-back way to catch a flick. Get there early and the kids will play a round of touch football under the south screen. The concession stand also has some pretty good food that isn't your typical theater fare.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #4c2b08; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.796875px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Fall is starting this weekend, and the leaves will be changing in about 6 to 8 weeks. Looking onward to our next fun season in this great city!</div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 15px;">At <a href="http://www.friendlyrooster.com/" target="_blank">www.friendlyrooster.com</a>, we love to promote brands who are ethical. Our best selling brand, Tip Toey Joey, is a fantastic example of this. The company was started by husband and wife team, Scott and Ana. They are a great example of partners who both bring excellent strengths to the table while balancing the other one out. They constantly strive to push the brand forward while still maintaining its roots...a very delicate balancing act, indeed! Here is a little of their back story from Tip Toey Joey's Brazilian website:</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;"><i><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When our daughter was born, our world changed completely. Those eyes, that nose, those feet – we were absolutely in love. When we couldn’t find shoes worthy of those beautiful little feet, we set out to make our own.</span></i></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i style="line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Created by an Australian dad and Brazilian mum, Tip Toey Joey shoes carry our passion for kids and design, as well as a good dose of real parental practicality. From our original Baby line to our Toddler and Junior collections, Tip Toey Joey shoes are healthy, high-quality and comfortable – because we design them for our very own daughter.</span></i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">When we introduced our first shoes to Australia back in 2007, we knew we had something good, but we never imagined we’d get this far, growing from a small, local business to a well-respected, worldwide brand.</span><span style="color: #a64d79;"></span></i></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>We are incredibly proud of Tip Toey Joey – a business we affectionately call “our second child” – and we look forward to sharing our beloved little shoes with your family for years to come.</i></span></blockquote>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;"></span><br />
<div style="color: #666666; font-style: italic; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 15px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="color: #666666; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The goodness of Scott and Ana also shows through in the factory where they produce their shoes. As retailers, we've toured many a factory in our collective days. Most of them were not even close to the horror stories you hear about in the news, but each one of them made us thankful for our current jobs/lifestyle. The Tip Toey Joey factory, however, actually looks like someplace we, ourselves, would like to set up shop. They crank out super cute and stylish shoes, yet they still manage to enjoy themselves in the process. Check out these photos and be rest assured that when you buy Tip Toey Joey shoes, you're making a purchase from an ethical company that you can feel good about supporting! </span></div>

<div style="color: #666666; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And if these photos don't do the trick, don't forget about their Share Your Love of Shoes™ program where for every pair of TTJ shoes you purchase, we donate a pair of TTJ shoes to a beginning walker in need...</span></div>

The brands we carry at <a href="http://www.friendlyrooster.com/" target="_blank">www.friendlyrooster.com</a> are fun and creative....not just in the product they offer, but also in what they decide to name their product. One theme from this past spring and going into summer has to do with the open sea. These items have been among some of our best sellers this season, and it's no wonder why. Here's a tribute to this season's nautical nod. If you find yourself in a boating situation with your little boy this season, be sure he's wearing one of these!</div>

And the color that has risen to the top this spring at <a href="http://www.friendlyrooster.com/" target="_blank">www.friendlyrooster.com</a> is a bright, sunny yellow. And is it any wonder why? Who doesn't want to see their baby girl in a sundress and yellow sandals from Tip Toey Joey?!?!<div>

We know...we're an online shoe store, not a 70's sit-com. But we feel as good as the Jefferson's did in their new "deluxe apartment in the sky" now that we have some new features at <a href="http://www.friendlyrooster.com/" target="_blank">www.friendlyrooster.com</a>. Let us fill you in:<br />
<br />
1) Live Chat<br />
Hans, our Manager of Customer Service, is super excited about this one. Now when the "Hey there! How can I help you" logo is up, customers have the option to IM their questions and concerns. Many websites have this feature, and now we are proud to say...so do we!<br />
<br />
2) Related Products<br />
This feature is fantastic. Every time an item sells, the site records what is bought along with it. The site then compiles this information over time and makes recommendations to customers based on what other customers have bought.<br />
<br />
So, more cool stuff will be coming our way, but that's what we have to report so far. Progress is good!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042520854268882307.post-91313107868884882222013-04-07T15:54:00.002-07:002013-04-07T15:54:29.932-07:00Mad Men starts tonight...and we're excited!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
You can't work for a shoe company, even a baby and kids shoe company (such as <a href="http://www.friendlyrooster.com/" target="_blank">www.friendlyrooster.com</a>) and not have a love for fashion. Fashion is art that we live our lives in, it's fabulous, and no one "gets" that more than Janie Bryant....costume designer for Mad Men. We do watch Mad Men for the interesting story lines. We absolutely watch Mad Men to see and dream about Don Draper. But mostly, we watch it because of how fantastic the clothes are.</div>

At first they looked somewhat odd to the eye. They are almost reminiscent of the Air Jordan's from the mid-1980's. Then they showed up on the street. New York, LA, Hong Kong, London...women in all of the trendy, happening cities were wearing these shoes with leggings or skinny jeans and an oversize shirt (not unlike the way the Air Jordan's were worn circa 1984).<br />
<br />
The good news in all of this is that Tip Toey Joey was on it. Within months, they came out with Zappy. In November, <a href="http://www.friendlyrooster.com/" target="_blank">www.friendlyrooster.com</a> put it on our site with a note saying that it was on backorder until January. We sold out of every single pair before the shoes ever hit our warehouse. Here is an image of the shoe...<br />

How did we do this? We worked with ethical manufacturers, we started the Share Your Love of Shoes program™, and we recycled on our end.<br />

We thought, for year one, that we did pretty good. But as 2013 drew closer and we began to near our one year anniversary, we thought "How can we do better? What can we do further?". The most natural next step presented itself almost immediately. Packaging.</div>

We think about packaging in two ways. First, many of our suppliers already work towards sustainable packaging. But we asked, "Do shoes need to ship in a box, inside of another box?". Sure, shoes for as long as we remember, come in a shoe box. But do we still need that extra packaging? Without the shoebox, packages are lighter, which means that your purchase uses less gasoline during transport.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Second, we think about packaging/shipping materials. We use USPS to ship our product. They ship us USPS boxes and shipping supplies to use in shipping product to our customers. This is a great set up for when we need it. But we receive lots of shipping materials for when we purchase supplies online or when we receive product from our suppliers. So, when possible, we are going to recycle those items when we ship our product to you! So don't be surprised if your item arrives in an Office Depot or Amazon box. It just means that we are doing our part to keep this planet going for our children...and yours!</div>

As business picked up for fall, blogging got put on the back burner. However, we are here now, and we're happy to say that <a href="http://www.friendlyrooster.com/" target="_blank">www.friendlyrooster.com</a> is sending out its second batch of charity shoes!<br />
<br />
Today we sent out 60 pairs in September, and today we sent out another 40 pairs to our charitable partners with Share Your Love of Shoes™! Thanks again to our loyal customers who bought Tip Toey Joey shoes and in turn secured a donation for My Stuff Bags and Room to Grow.<br />
<br />
You guys are awesome!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042520854268882307.post-12194643620379506142012-09-22T09:57:00.001-07:002012-09-22T09:57:06.540-07:00We've said it before, and we're saying it again....we love when people send in pictures of their children wearing our shoes. It is the reason we do this. Here is Harper, wearing her brand new Livie and Luca pink Peacock Mary Jane style shoes. Here parents tell us that she wants to put them on every day with every outfit (and as you can imagine, they don't match everything...so that can be an issue :).<br />
<br />
We hope you enjoy the pics as much as we do. And if you feel so inclined, you can always buy these for your little girl at <a href="http://www.friendlyrooster.com/" target="_blank">www.friendlyrooster.com</a> ...<br />

Each organization will receive 30 pairs of Tip Toey Joey shoes for beginning walkers in need. These shoes are specially designed with little feet ages 6 through 18 months in mind. They are soft and non-restrictive, allowing babies feet to develop properly and sense irregularities in the ground while still providing traction and protection (plus..they are super cute!) Here is a sampling of the styles these children will receive.</div>
